Imaging short- and long-term training success in chronic aphasia.

20 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: To date, functional imaging studies of treatment-induced recovery from chronic aphasia only assessed short-term treatment effects after intensive language training. In the present study, we show with functional magnetic resonance imaging ... Read more...

Cortical mapping of naming errors in aphasia.

30 Jul 2009 Persons with aphasia vary greatly with regard to clinical profile; yet, they all share one common feature-anomia-an impairment in naming common objects. Previous research has demonstrated that particular naming errors are associated with specific ... Read more...

Specific language impairment versus Landau-Kleffner syndrome.

30 Jul 2009 The occurrence of sleep electroencephalography (EEG) abnormalities in some children with specific language impairment (SLI), the various forms of language dysfunction patterns seen in children with benign childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Aphasia'

Definition: A cognitive disorder marked by an impaired ability to comprehend or express language in its written or spoken form. This condition is caused by diseases which affect the language areas of the dominant hemisphere. Clinical features are used to classify the various subtypes of this condition. General categories include receptive, expressive, and mixed forms of aphasia.
